i sat on the train today
talking to a stranger

i asked him what he wanted to do with his life

he said,

i want to go over Niagara Falls
i want to "see" what it feels like
i want to know if i can do it
i want to know if i could survive



fool?

crazed?



neither...

the
dreams
of
a
little
boy
who
has
not
yet
accepted
into
his
12
year
old
heart --
that
he
"can't"
do
everything

COOL!


and i said to him,
if i could
i'd give you wings
so you could fly

...and the little stranger hugged me

and then talked about Mount Everest
